Genre: Contemporary Romance, Suspense, Mystery, Historical

Publisher: The Wild Rose Press

Publication Date: January 7, 2019

Love blossoms after a chance meeting between Austrian Botanist Andreas Bauer and Charleston Heiress Savannah Sutherland at the Bahnhof St. Valentin. But dark family secrets and an explosive, centuries-old conspiracy cast deadly shadows and threatens to derail their romance.

Botanist Andreas Bauer, passionate about saffron, plans to reintroduce organic farming of the world's most expensive spice to a region of Austria now known for its wine. Meeting resistance from vintners, he does research in a local abbey and discovers a dark secret regarding a king's ransom gone astray hundreds of years before. Heiress Savannah Sutherland is on her way to learn the wine business from her uncle, who owns one of the largest vineyards in the area. She has no idea she is expected to marry the heir of a neighboring estate to expand her uncle's empire.

Sparks fly when Andreas sets eyes on Savannah, and he knows they're destined to be together. But their growing attraction is threatened by her uncle--and by whoever orders a deadly attack on Andreas. Dark family secrets and a dangerous, centuries-old conspiracy cast deathly shadows over the love Andreas and Savannah share.

Excerpt

Watertown was a misnomer, because there wasnít a body of water anywhere in sight. I soon learned Watertown was in the middle of Downtown Nowhere, the dictionary definition of a sleepy townóa town that was practically in a comaówhere the Spanish Moss grew thick and the Southern accents thicker.

Watertown, which wasnít even officially a town, was inappropriately advertised as the ìBest Town on Earth,î with some less than stellar eating establishments lining the wide parkway that led up to the courthouse square. Sprawled along the road were Sandraís Beauty Nook, Fensterís Hardware, Shelleyís Seafood, Watertown Bed and Breakfast, and Pizza Napoli. I hadnít been to many towns outside of Miami, but that slogan seemed like either deceptive advertising or the most hopeful attempt to, as they say in the South, put lipstick on a pig. I couldnít imagine spending the rest of my life in Watertown. Still, we were in the middle of a recession, and I was happy to have a job. When I got the job at the prison system, I endured the expected incarceration jokes.

ìHow long are you in for?î my father asked.

ìWhy does the prison system need Public Relations?î my mother wondered.

ìSo should I tell my friends that my girlfriend is doing time in the Big House?î Daniel teased.

No matter how many times I told them I was doing PR, not time, I continued to be teased mercilessly. Like every journalism major, I had visions of writing the Great American Novel. Mine would be entitled ìMy Year in Prison.î Which meant I had to stay on the job for at least a year. Just enough time for my next employer to see that I had staying power. A sense of commitment. A trait my boyfriend was definitely lacking. It turns out I could have written a blockbuster about what Iíd seen there. But, as I said, I was determined to carry my secrets to the grave, so my blockbuster exposÈ never materialized.
